#gaslighting

The difference between a genuine apology and a non-apology.

A non-apology goes like this:

1. Gaslight: “I'm sorry you feel that way.”
2. Explain: “There were (this, this and this) reasons why I did it.”
3. Poke: “And anyway, look at YOU!”

A genuine apology goes like this:

1. Acknowledge what you did: “I did this thing.” (Describe it as accurately as you can)
2. Express remorse: “I'm sorry I did that.”
3. Learn and change!

Voilà!

Sigh. Why did it take me 50 years to figure this out?

"This is a new low in a pattern of threatening behaviour against politicians and it has been reported to Victoria Police,"

• Paul Edbrooke, after finding a bullet on his car

Bitch, Helen Haines has just had both her legs amputated because of a violent attack on her, and you think someone leaving something on your car is a "new low"?

Men will take the violent traumas other men inflict on women and use them as fodder for their own little faux hero-dramas.

Measure 442's summary hides who it bans. Nebraska's court: voters "need only flip over the page." What bullshit is this?

"When one neurologist told me I was “just depressed and anxious,” I finally said, “We’re going to stop the gaslighting right now.”" Kelly Sealey, a Black woman and advocate with Long COVID, suggests a straightforward way to communicate with gaslighting doctors about post-acute infectious sequelae. https://thesicktimes.org/2026/08/28/were-going-to-stop-the-gaslighting-right-now-how-im-fighting-back-as-a-black-woman-with-long-covid/ #MEcfs #LongCOVID #InvisibleIllness #COVID19 #COVIDIsNotOver #Disability #Gaslighting #Medicine

A two minute piece on gaslighting - here is part one #lgbtq #gaslighting #bbc #radio4 part one

The BBC has clearly been captured by the Epstein Class, glad I don't pay for it. It covers for predators and punishes those who are decent. #BBC #BBCBias #EpsteinClass #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Gaslighting #DARVO

#Trump claimed he would 'bring free speech back” [but seriously, let’s be real, it was always his version of #FreeSpeech] - yet Judges have ruled in 75 cases that he has stifled the #FirstAmendment . #law #gaslighting #propaganda #Trumpaganda #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #MafiaState #tyranny

I mean seriously, all I have to say is LOL 🤣🤭😂🤣🤭😂🤣🤭😂 … Except, looking at it soberly, there has been some very real damages to the man’s life #DOJ drops “criminal” case against ex-Olympian charged with damaging #ReflectingPool #Trump #TrumpsALoser #law #FrivolousLawsuit #propaganda #trumpaganda #bullshit #gaslighting #TaxpayersMoney #vanity #narcissism

#Trump asserted that #ABC & #NBC should lose their government-issued broadcast licenses, something that he’s repeatedly suggested & something that his #FCC chairman, #BrendanCarr, has taken unprecedented steps to do, particularly with ABC, in recent months. #BigLie #Trumpaganda #propaganda #gaslighting #law #FirstAmendment #FreePress

Orwell vs Huxley "There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution." - Aldous Huxley "The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what's happening." - George Orwell 1984 "Doublethink mens the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneosly, and accepting both of them." - George Orwell "Central to all forms of oppression is the need to prevent people from openly discussing ideas and issues." - George Orwell "It's not so much staying alive, it's staying HUMAN that's important. What counts is that we don't betray each other." - George Orwell "It is this fear of a supposedly dangerous mob that makes nearly all intelligent people conservative in their opinons." - George Orwell "If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it it because self knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion."- Aldous Huxley "Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is a hardly a healthy human left." - Aldous Huxley "People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think." - Aldous Huxley "The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he beleieves himself to be free." - Aldous Huxley "Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons." - Aldous Huxley "The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence." - Aldous Huxley #GeorgeOrwell #AldousHuxley #OrwellRolls #FreeSpeech #Censorship #SurveillanceState #StopSpyingOnUs #Green #Progressive #Libertarian #RadicalFeminist #Solidarity #BigPharma #Gaslighting
